    Screw the two clasp pearls together and then put them in boiling
    water and the pull them apart. One end will come out, repeat boiling
    and gently pull the other end out with pliers. Boiling water has
    succeeded for me when acetone and other solvents fail. Once you get
    the hang of it you can do this at the bench with a 1/8 cup steel
    measuring cup and a torch. 

    Hope that helps, 

TJ
